There's this town with two blacksmiths - one, a swordsmaker and the other, a shield maker. The swordsmaker's swords can slice through anything as a rule and the other guy's shields cannot be destroyed. Now they get cut up with each other for some reason and pit their wares against each other. What do you expect happens?

"as a rule"?

There must be an exception to the rule, otherwise it would be a fact that the sword cuts anything. Then there'd be no need for a rule.

So the shieldmaker wins.
